Yes, I have just noticed this. It is a very hard read. Basically, it seems to just spit the history of middle earth at you. A good read of you are a “nerd” for the series. It has been giving me so much more information. It shows the elves back when they were still as simple as humans, but it has no real storyline. Not very much entertaining, but very much informing and revealing. 
I tried to read Silmarillion a couple of years back, but in Norwegian. I realized it wasn’t as good translated, but I wouldn’t be able to read it English.
So I haven’t tried again. Maybe one day. I have so many books to read now so will have to be later.
I just finished this excellent book by Matthew Stover. It was the most intense experience I’ve ever had. It left me shaking afterward. All I could do for half an hour was walk back and forth, having to lean on things just to stand up.
Let me put it this way: the events give Mace Windu nightmares.
Definitely a must read. Get it now.
right now i’m about halfway through Tolkien’s The Silmarillion. It’s not really difficult to read, although it reads kind of like the bible. very concentrated and reads slowish. i only know of three other people who have ever finished it: my dad, a chick from school, and my english teacher 
.
it’s not a very evocative book. doesn’t really get any emotion going in the reader. but it’s still interesting to read.
Prometheus Rising
The Lucifer Effect (Philip Zimbardo). The book is a fleshed-out version of a psychology experiment on how quickly and easily normal people can turn sadistic. It is … interesting.
In Nightmares and Dreamscapes, I just finished Dolan’s Cadillac. Now I’m onto The End of the Whole Mess. Neither are horror. One is a thriller, and the other is sci-fi.
Dolan’s Cadillac is going to be a movie coming out next month! Filmed in Canada too 
I’m reading “The Vampire Lestat” By Anne Rice, really good book, faster paced than the first and a really captivating read
Eat, pray, love - Elisabeth Gilbert.
“Day Watch” By Sergej Lukianenko <— That Series is Unbelievable 
i recently finished reading the inheritance series (eragon, eldest, brisingr) and now i am reading a book my friend lent me called The Sorwed of Shanara, all 4 are fantasy/adventure
I lent danielns13 the book by the way and im reading a book called Straken from the High Druid of Shannara series. I reccomend the series and the auther (Terry Brooks) to anyone who enjoys fantasie storys
woah you seem different on the internet, WTM.
anyway i second WTM
(its weird calling you WTM instead of your real name)
Its still the same talking with you. yaaaawn sleep
just finished The Silmarillion. It was pretty good if you’re like me and you like that sort of reading.
I’m starting Night by Elie Wiesel, we have to read it for English class.
“The Human Touch” By: Micheal Frayn 
Daughter of the Forest by Juliet Marillier, it’s book one in the Sevenwaters trilogy. I am forever in love with these books, I reread them all the time. I definitely recommend them if you like Fantasy books.
Ramtha
Marked - P.C. Cast & Kristin Cast
And for school…sigh
Moonfleet - J. Meade Falkner
“Let the Right One In” - John Ajvide Lindqvist
One of my favorite movies of all time in novel format. It’s…wow…But I’m not sure if it’s everyone’s cup of tea. I’ll probably start reading “The Dead Zone” by Stephen King next.
